MOTUS Commercials, part of Motus Group (UK) Ltd, has added Solway DAF to its portfolio, cementing the Motus business’ position as the largest DAF dealer group in Europe. The Solway DAF sales dealership in Carlisle, and its three service dealerships at Penrith, Workington and Dumfries, now bring the Motus Commercials DAF dealership numbers to 34, having also recently opened an additional service point for its Derby dealership.
The Solway DAF business, which employs almost 100 people across the four dealership locations, has been representing DAF for 45 years.
Former owner Peter Fullelove, who has been running the business since 1986, will remain in place to oversee a smooth transition. Peter commented, “Whilst it has been a very emotional decision for me to sell the business to Motus, their track record for business growth and people development means I have chosen the right purchaser for this business, which has meant so much to me personally.”
